Chapter 8 England
第8章 英格兰
Elizabeth didn't give me her army.She put me in prison.You know this,James—it is the story of your life,not mine. I was twenty-five years old when I came to England, and I am forty-five now.Twenty years in English prisons.
伊丽莎白没有给我她的军队。她把我关进了监狱。你知道这些的,詹姆斯——它是有关你生活的故事,不是我的。我来到英格兰时才25岁,而现在我已经45岁了,在英格兰的监狱里呆了20年。
Moray told lies about me. Mary and Bothwell killed Darn-ley, he said.Mary slept with Riccio and Bothwell and killed her husband. But it's not true!They're all lies, James— wicked lies!They only said these things because I am a woman, and a Catholic, and they don't want a Catholic queen in Scotland, they want a Protestant king.
有关我的情况马里撒了谎。玛丽和博思韦尔杀死了达恩利,他说。玛丽和里奇奥、博思韦尔同床共眠,还杀死了她的丈夫。但这不是真的!他们全在说谎,詹姆斯——恶意的谎言!他们只提这些事是因为我是个女人,是个天主教教徒,而且在苏格兰,他们不想要一个天主教教徒的女王,他们想要一个新教教徒的国王。
A king like you, James.Why, James my son, don't you help me? Why are you friendly with Elizabeth, my enemy?You don't want me back in Scotland, do you? You believe these lies, don't you?You talk to Moray and his friends, every day.But they lied about me,James.Moray and his friends killed Riccio Then killed your father, too.They stole my husband Bothwell, stole my son…
一个像你这样的国王,詹姆斯。为什么不帮助我呢?詹姆斯,我的儿子,为什么你还和伊丽莎白,我的仇敌友好相处呢?你不想让我回到苏格兰,是吗?你相信这些谎言,不是吗?你每天和马里以及他的朋友们说话。可是他们编造了关于我的谎言,詹姆斯。马里和他的朋友杀死了里奇奥,然后又杀死了你的父亲。他们偷走了我的丈夫博思韦尔,偷走了我的儿子。……
Stole my son's love…
偷走了我儿子的爱……
